UK SEO Services

So you’ve got your website made to showcase all your products or services to people… but nobody’s visiting! Why?

Search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing drive up to 80% of all website traffic that you receive (the remainder usually coming from referrals such as business cards or direct marketing such as flyers or banner advertising.) If your website can’t be found in Google, then the volume of visitors (“traffic”) that you receive is going to be pretty low.

Thankfully, there are ways to improve your website’s ranking in the search engines, and this practice is known as “SEO” which is short for “Search engine optimization”.

It’s common for business owners to simply check if they appear in Google by searching for the company name. However, this is not what a typical customer would search for! For example, if your company is called “AA Roofing” and you are a roofing company in Derby, then what is a prospective buyer likely to search in Google for? Unless they have already heard of your company, they will not search on your name – they’re likely to search for “roofing in Derby”, “Derby roofing”, “Roofing companies in Derby” and so on.

Take a moment to think about what phrases a customer would be likely to use when finding you – then search in Google to check if you’re on the first page for that term. (These phrases are known as “keywords” in SEO-speak.)

About Google’s search results

Note! Google delivers its search results based on what they call “personalized search”. This means they check your surfing history and will show you first sites that you frequently visit. So if you visit your own site frequently and then search for one of your keywords, your site may appear higher in the rankings for you than for other people who have never visited your site. For this reason, it’s important to use this special link to determine where your site ranks in Google:Google Rank Checker

A word about social media…

We see many unscrupulous SEO and web design companies persuading every type of business owner that they MUST have a Twitter or Facebook account or risk being left behind by the competition. Whilst both Facebook and Twitter can be excellent marketing tools, we really do not recommend them for every business. Business which have a strong social side such as pubs, restaurants, clubs; or those which offer bespoke services like photography, bridal makeup, interior design, etc, can greatly benefit from the power of social media and customer engagement. However, small business such as builders, joiners, plumbers, etc will find them more of a distraction to business than a useful tool.
